u. k. and france. they're having to deal with the owner bilateral level this latest route. i think although the u. k is not absolutely at the heart of it, it certainly is not going to help this difficult relationship between france and the u. k. and it's not going to be good for either side. it's not good for the, for the british side is not gonna be good for the french side. they will try, i think, to find a way of getting passes. but because the french are not pointing the finger of blame at the u. k. as much as they are against the united states and australia, they're essentially saying that the u. k was not much more than an intermediary and this kind of matchmaker between australia and the united states. if perhaps it will be easier for the front to get over this hump than it will be for the united states and australia to say chinese state bank newspaper global times as described estrella as a pawn of the u. s. and gullible, for buying into us cold war strategy. the chinese presidents warned against what he calls interference from external forces in his address to the shanghai corporation organization

u. k. not seen for 9 years around 500 patients died while waiting for a transplant. 30 percent more than the previous year. we spoke to a policy director, a kidney care u. k, who believes is going to take years to catch up with pre pandemic numbers. what has been happening because of the pandemic? was that a lot of transplant systems across the whole world had to stop. well, not completely stop, but how to partially stop. what not has meant is that there are now more people on the transplant waiting list, hoping to receive a transplant colleagues on the medical professionals think that it could take up to 3 years for the numbers to be able to fully catch up again. although many countries, the numbers are catching up slightly worldwide. the overall drop in transplant activity was 16 percent by the end of last year. research is say, there's been concerns around exposing living donors to coven in hospitals at the time when the vulnerable, but shown allowed. again, says they're a valuable lessons t

u. k. not france, and that has really upset the french, in fact pulling their bathroom both australia and the united states. so the fact that the u. s. presence now got to meet with a lot of these world leaders. perhaps that has something to do with the timing because we know. 2 that not only were leaders from pushing for lifting of these air travel restrictions, but also the airline industry because the hospitality industry in general has really seen profits plummet as a result of these restrictions. so this will be welcome news for that industry as well. and they are at complete thanks a lot can be hooked. whitehouse pfizer has announced in kevin 1900 vaccine is effective for children between 5 and 11 years old. pharmaceutical john tested the job with a low dose and i've also but found it produces enough antibodies. 5 will send its findings to us regulators to approve request approval for a global rollout. joe moore is a professor of microbiology and immunology at the vale cornell medical col

u. k. at his diplomatic that seems to have escaped some censure from france. i was this playing out in the u. k. well, the u. k is not having its french ambassador recalled in the same way that the united states and the australians have done. but that doesn't mean that the french are happy with the role the united kingdom has played. and in this deal, they have essentially fed through the foreign ministry, the 3 for a minister that the u. k. is nothing more than i kind of vassal state of the united states as to how this is playing out in the u. k. i think this is being seen as perhaps the french being a little bit hysterical about things as throwing their toys out of the prime to a certain extent. but you have to acknowledge that france has been really, really thrown under the bus and this, and i think in the u. k, that view is not being ignored. they can see that this was a big deal for france. they can see that this is a humiliation for macro and, and they can see that this throws french strategy in the indo pacific region into disarray. so the rivalry between france, the united kingdom is long, it goes back centur

u. k. like somewhat, what we see here in the u. s. is always going to be on even it's not, not, in fact actually what some people said is that you're handing this over to the label. get to the labor government. i don't think that you're going to see that. i think of it is 1.25 percent isn't going to break anybody. whereas who said in the us, you know what to what the business has always do businesses always pass on expenses to the consumer. that always happens. but 1.25 percent scotty isn't going to break anybody's back. and so you're not going to find anything drastic. that's going to happen. i think actually a far greater concern in the u. k. right now, is the supply chain, the semiconductor issue and the closing of manufacturing plant for call manufacturing is far greater of an issue. and the labor shortage is a far greater issue. and the semiconductor issue is far greater of a problem than this 1.25 percent tax. well, there is no doubt that it health care is going to major costs. are governments across the world. is there any other countries right now who you can alrea

this in our view is an exceptional case, not a precedent setting case. the u. k says it's not ditching it either and says that any disagreement with paris can be brushed aside as a misunderstanding the u. k. fronts have, i believe, a very, very important i need destructible relationship. and of course, we'll be talking to all our friends about how to, to make the orcas packed work so that it's not exclusionary. it's not divisive, and it really doesn't have to be that way. the chief has also stepped in to criticize the way france is being treated by it's supposed allies and is both biden and french present. macross are set to take the podium on the same day. the spat may well overshadow. biden's un debut as president, ganna. stan will also be on the agenda. there is lots of controversy there and not just about who will represent the country at the gathering. security in the region is a serious concern in many countries are expected to touch on for sure. the territory of, of dentist on should not be used to threaten or attack any country to plan or finance terroris

and of course, the pandemic, at least until the vaccine was not handled particularly well by the government. and the u. k. has suffered a relatively high level morbidity and mortality. father, i think there are few people would argue no bars. johnson is not really a politician for a difficult time. he's a sunshine politician, are 3500 the tom demick particularly easy. but of course, the crucial stable position he's got is the conservative party these days is essentially the party press it. the boss bog of it's about comes from lead vices and there isn't really any competition fall back leave. but since module for raj, the game reps, the party now reform you know, picking up very much doubtful at least 2 sides of the boat is still saying they're going to berkeley. the concern is that the father breasted still structures how people can do both so much just a concern as a very considerable advantage. in contrast, remain, vote is still divided between labor up to some degree than it would have cost. i didn't know the board r b s and p. so now the labor part to use that for only picking up usually the stay so

u. k is not entered into a failure in america. i'm what i'm starting to think was the most packing and challenging question to the prime minister came from his previous i saw a man who asked them, does this mean that you case? no. committed to the defense of taiwan against the chinese invasion and not are totally improbable prospect. why does the labor benches no longer having people who would stand up and ask about nuclear proliferation or the extent of treaty obligations of any of the key questions that an opposition should be asking under the circumstances where these people gotten williams, while many of them have been expelled or suspended, of course. and a lot of people are frightened. it seems to me to speak them minded chemist, alma's lego party. and, you know, we seeing the, you know, the propaganda building on the anti china propaganda building that we should be seeing the opposition speaking out about and, and opposing what we should be doing for is a huge investment in our public services. we have our own sovereign cur

u. s. there are 10000000 jobs. jobs are open and there are, you know, we're hiring signs all across the us. this is not a u. k issue. this is a worldwide issue. so it's not just in the u. k, but the reason that the u. k. government is holding back on this is because for the whole reason what they want to do is they want businesses to hire local u. k. british workers. that's what they want them to do. so that's why they're holding back and they're holding back on this. and they also want u. k. well, because to be trained up for these jobs, they don't just want to have a visas extended for those in europe. that's why it's being held up. hillary ford, which of the british american business association. thank you so much for breaking all this down. pleasure. and finally, at an event ahead of the 2021 munich auto show volkswagen an argo a i gave the 1st look at an electric autonomous vehicle, the id buzz. now the van is built around the concept of the iconic v w micro bus. but the vert, this virgin unveiled in munich is covered in high tech centers to bolster itself driving capability. companies say the id buzz wi

u. k. driver does not need to fill up over the weekend. right. so the average american is automatically getting flashbacks to the great toilet paper shortage of 2020. right? yes. okay. now i know we've been talking a lot about the labor shortages that have been ongoing. and as we heard the u. k. government in response to it on saturday they announced that they will issue $5000.00 emergency 3 month visa to foreign truck drivers starting in october and more for poultry workers as well. so how will this affect the fuel issues and the worries about the upcoming holidays? i know there's a lot of worries about everything from turkey to gifts there, there's many, many ways. okay, so a couple of factors here on poetry packet you to with regard to the, the shipping and the, all the, all the truck drivers. couple of things here. number 195 percent of everything in the u. k. has to be bought in on the back of a laurie a truck from somewhere. and during the pandemic, you mentioned about the aging workforce a lot. those aging retiring workers who are driving

u. k. however, it is not the 1st time that russia stands accused of going after its enemies on u. k. soil in london, in 2006 outspoken kremlin critic alexander lithonian co, died in agony after being poisoned, using a rare radioactive isotope called polonium 210 slips into his teeth in a smart london hotel, allegedly by 2 russian agents. a judgment by the european court of human rights was found that the russian state was to blame for what it described as an assassination . and i haven't even seen any results of the investigation sofa. such statements are, at the very least founded were not willing to take this ruling on board. the criminal continues to deny involvement in both the st. paul ambler pinion co cases. and another thing that's unlikely to change is that with no extradition treaty and no help from the rational authorities, all the suspects are likely to remain safe and at large in russia, joan a whole al jazeera still to come here and algebra, the taliban that says afghan girls will be allowed to go back to school, but it won't say when and the inside the sprawling borde

not liquefied natural gas, is all going to asia. because even though the prices are up for 100 percent in europe and even more in the u. k. s because they're not that still less than what asia pays. so you're just going to have to say we have, we already have this with labor, right? labor prices, american workers, european workers had to compete with asian workers. and that meant their, their wages had to go down. now the asian consumer is willing to pay a lot more for natural gas. so we're going to pay more as well in terms of the u. k . though the regulators set the price about how much the energy providers are allowed to charge. so far, 8 companies have gone us and about for about are likely to go bus this week in terms of providers because they can't raise their prices. so they're just losing money, transporting this natural gas into the homes of residences, right? about the money printing. it's causing inflation. but more so in the u. k than elsewhere because they have the problem of distribution, transportation and logistics. because it's an island, right? so they add the cost onto that, and since they have to go thr

u. k. i mean, this isn't good for any kind of relations. although the issue is not that the u. s . a u k form this pack with the australians. it is that the diesel submarines are not viewed as being as competitive and what is necessary to for the chinese in the pacific because the diesel submarines have to surface and the nuclear submarines can stay under the water for fall greater amount of time. so the diesel submarines were viewed as obsolete. so this agreement was more about what is best for the protection of australia. not a some psalm against the french from the brits, but it doesn't help in terms of your exact question which was with regard to trade . it doesn't help because of course, that's still that the fish was, have not ended. and there was still a lot of friction between the british and the french. and i have just about 30 seconds for hillary. but another thing that prime minister johnson is going to do well here is meet with jeff bezos of amazon, about their tax, basically requirement they didn't pay very much as they saw a 50 percent increase in business in the u. k.
